They have created companies that employ tens or even hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide and are behind some of the best known brands, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Google and Nike. Many billionaires hold a large part of their net worth in the shares of the company they founded. In this ranking we list the 10 richest people in the world.
